WARNING

We supply an extensive range of mobility scooters to meet the varying needs of

individual users. It is the responsibility of the individual user and their healthcare advisor

qualified in making such choices, to decide which scooter is suitable for the user’s

intended purpose.

With regards to restraints, seat positioning straps, posture correction or other positional

aids and accessories, it is the obligation of the qualified healthcare professional in conjunction with the dealer to ensure the suitability of such equipment for the safe operation of the scooter.

Serious injury can occur in the event of a fall from a mobility scooter.

We DO NOT RECOMMEND that a scooter user is transported in any type of vehicle

when seated in the scooter.

At this time, there are no approved Tie-down Systems for the transportation of a user in

ANY moving vehicle whilst seated in a scooter.

It is our opinion that users of mobility scooters should be transferred into the appropriate vehicle seating system and use should be made of the restraints available to the auto

industry.
